Well, I've heard people say
"Why is this tree bent?"
They don't have God enough to know
That's the way that it was meant
And, "why is this little baby born
All twisted and out of shape?"
We're not to question what he does
'Cause God makes no mistakes

Well, I've heard people say
"Why is my child blind?
Why is that old drunk still livin'
When a daddy like mine is dyin'?"
Our blessed Father gives us life
But he has the power to take it away
There's no reason for what he does
'Cause God makes no mistakes

Well, I've heard people say
"God can't be alive
And all the things that people say
Has to be a lie"
When they're down and out
And they need a hand
And their very soul's at stake
If they'll call on Him and just believe
God makes no mistakes

Our blessed Father gives us life
He has the power to take it away
There's no reason for what he does
'Cause God makes no mistakes

If they'll call on Him and just believe
God makes no mistakes
